Today, because of changes in society and the growth of the state, most crimes committed are and the offender stands a good chance of never having any jail or prison time. Alan E. Keller, assistant regional director for Adult Probadrug-relate- difference." Keller has observed d tion and Parole, t has worked through such changes in the legal system and in society during his more than 30 years as a corrections officer. He retired this week. Probation and parole intervenes in a criminal case after an offender has pleaded guilty or been convicted of a crime, Keller explained. The office then makes recommendations to the court for sentencing, probation or parole and sees that the recommendation is carried out. But rehabilitating criminal offenders is only a secondary goal of probation and parole,' he points out. "Qur primary responsibility is to protect society," he explained. And protecting society has undergone a few changes during his career. Alan "When started, it was a two-ma- n operation," recalls Keller, who clocked a lot of travel time, visiting rural communities all over the southern part of the state to set up parole and proba- tion programs for offenders. It was tough going, and often not very effective, since it was hard to keep track of offenders long distance. "We had to rely a lot on local agencies, like the county sheriffs," he said. But he has since watched the OK funds Juab County Correspondent NEPHI Juab School District tentatively approved the proposed fee schedules and estimated supply costs for each of the four schools in the district. The new policies cover fees for projects and longer trends. Keler sees a lot of hope for the system, noting that law enforcement officers are much better trained than in the past, and that parole officers can offer their charges more time and more treatment optiops. And while society may be be--, coming more complex, it is also becoming more enlightened, Keller maintains. National publicity on such issues as drunk driving and sexual abuse has resulted in tighter controls and more convictions for those offenses, he says. But it still can be difficult for corrections officers, who often have to deal with the anguish experienced by an offender's family. "You often feel like the individual has earned his prison sentence but those close to him have the real impact," he said. Such problems contribute to a high rate of professional burnout among law enforcement officers, but Keller tries to counter that negativism with a positive attitude. "I've often said that I'd rather see a probation officer conned now and then by an offender than have 'the officer say that no one's going to put anything over on him, " he said. Strike tonight?

Geneva Steel has refused to die despite the neglect of U.S. Steel. You don't walk away from a spirit like that." Anderson said the $25,000 represents much more than just money. "The message I want to give out is not just that Utah County is giving out $25,000," Anderson said. "Utah County is going to do whatever it takes to see if we can have a facility out there. I will go out and do fundraising personally." County commissioners will not take formal action on the $25,000 pledge until Monday. Warnick said. Commissioner J.

Suzanna is also friends with many of her Chinese classmates at school, with the cooks in the dining hall and just about anybody else she meets. "I'll really miss my friends here," she says, "and the other foreigners. We're probably never going to see them again." But, on the other hand, she misses her friends at home a lot and the family dog Snuffy and kitten Blackey. She says she is definitely a changed person as a result of this time in China. "I've been forced to be more outgoing and brave; no one in China ever cries," she says. ' "It feels like I've grown five years. This place ages you." Suzanna has had a variety of different friends throughout the year. First it was Momoka, a Japanese girl about her age who spoke very little English. Suzanna didn't speak Japanese either, so for a while they got along just fine with a pretty complicated series of grunts, like a couple of little cave children. Eventually they learned enough of each other's language (supplemented with Chinese) to get along. They became constant companions.

"Closure is not the only option, neither is it the main option," said Robert McDougall, chairman of the advisory committee and managing editor of The Daily Herald. Other possibilities include an employee buyout, employeeinvestor buyout or convincing USX. (formerly U.S. Steel) to not leave. ."'We're in the very first stage of our effort to see what can be done to firm up Geneva's future," McDougall said. "We want to do a marketing study with Geneva and an impact study on how the closing would affect the community." Anderson said state, county and city governments spend vast sums of-- money trying to draw new businesses into their communities. He said contributing to keeping a business in the area is basically the same thing. Utah County annually spends three times the amount donated to the study to support efforts by the Utah Valley Industrial Development Association. The association is responsible for attracting businesses to the area.

"The average person who ends up in prison or on probation are not a 'criminal type' but a person who has experienced failure in all aspects of his life: home, school, work, relationships," Keller said. "And he's not going to be successful on probation because of that established pattern," he added. "And I've also observed that the type of offender committed to prison today has had a lot more opportunities to make it on the outside," he said. "A lot more hardened individuals are going to prison now than 20 years ago." On the positive side of that change is the greater availability of counseling and rehabilitation programs available for offenders, he said.
